Disappointing visit - standards have gone down based on previous visits. Orders were not taken properly - drink requests were not noted, drink orders were forgotten, appetizer orders were forgotten. Food was decent but in one of the orders the clams & mussels were not cleaned properly and most dishes were served lukewarm.

This was our first visit to Leo’s but definitely won’t be our last. We were so impressed with every aspect of our experience. The staff’s attention to detail was truly impressive. Our server, Brooke (Blond Brooke), was welcoming, gracious, informative, helpful and well-versed on our dining and cocktail options. Her guidance helped us navigate an amazing array of dining options. In the end we were extremely pleased with our choices. In addition to Brooke’s help, we were extremely pleased with the managers and support staff who checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying our dining experience. The overall atmosphere at Leo’s also helped make our meal memorable. The lighting, noise level, and movement of the staff provided a welcoming ambience where the pace and delivery of the meal allowed us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. The food was prepared well and exceeded our expectations. Again, the menu provided some incredible options that we look forward to trying on our future visits to Leo’s!

I enjoyed my birthday here. My server Ty was amazing even though he was busy moving around he made sure my food was nice and hot and his display of the desserts made me want some😊. That was my first time there with plenty more regularly! Thank you for the service.
